“American Hustle” took the Screen Actors Guild Awards' top honor for outstanding cast on Saturday night, beating out Steve McQueen's acclaimed “12 Years a Slave.”

Because actors make up the largest branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the SAG Awards are considered one of the best indicators of the Oscars.

Saturday's awards were a somewhat low-key affair with a few memorable speeches but no earthquakes in a rapidly solidifying award season. The night's acting winners — Matthew McConaughey, Cate Blanchett, Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto — are each probably the favorites of their categories.

The awards honor outstanding work in television, too. “Breaking Bad” took honors for outstanding dramatic cast, while the ABC sitcom “Modern Family” won for ensemble in a comedy series.
